Orphan Fund

As of January 1, 2012, eligible for a one-time payment of €2,556 may be those living in former Soviet bloc countries who were born 1928 or later and were orphaned due to Nazi persecution (both parents were killed due to persecution).

To be eligible, applicants may not have received any previous compensation from a German source and must meet the same persecution criteria as that of the Hardship Fund. Please see Hardship Fund guidelines for more information on how to apply.

Applications must be completed in Latin letters. Applications in Cyrillic cannot be accepted.
